BUSH LEAGERS (or is it possible for you to be traded for a computer and an agent to be named later?)  This is an article on www.SalesDog.com (highly recommend you subscribe to the online newsletter but that’s another story).  It is actually a negative article pointing out what sales people do to sabatoge their success.  You could take each of the ten items featured and instead of saying them in a negative way make them positive affirmations to avoid doing what the author says sales people do.  Judge for yourself:  http://www.salesdog.com/newsletter/2011/sales_training_nl0550.htm#newsletter

 

SAMS CLUB ENTERTAINMENT COUPON BOOKLETS.   Information sheets and a poster has been displayed in the Resource Room (by Tuesday morning) for Entertainment Coupon Booklets (customizable with your information).  The material refers to a special if ordered by October 15 which has obviously passed.  The reference to a special if ordered by November 15 still applies.  These are inexpensive ways to provide value to your database by giving them savings coupons.  Their web site is:  www.entertainment.com/nar.  It IS a National Association of Realtors program.  There are only so many application blanks so please make copy to use.

THE MYTH, by Jon Gordon.  When you read this, consider how the top real estate agent became the top real estate agent.  Was it overnight or did the agent spend hours doing what other real estate agents either refuse to do or do not know how to to it?  You know it was the countless hours leading up to being at the top of the profession.  Success leaves clues (Tony Robbins) and so do successful real estate sales people.  You can find all of the clues in The Millionaire Real Estate Agent (MREA) by Gary Keller, Dave Jenks and Jay Papasan.  In the mean time read Jon Gordon’s article and see if it strikes a nerve:  http://www.jongordon.com/newsletter-110711-myth.html

 

THIS WEEKS HUMOR FROM DR. TOM HILL:
Hello... I have a question!

•  Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety-one?
• If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea...does that mean that one out of five enjoys it?
• Why do croutons come in airtight packages? Aren't they just stale bread to begin with?
• If people from Poland are called Poles, then why aren't people from Holland called Holes?  
• If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?
• Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a racecar is not called a racist? 
• If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?  
• If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? 
• If FedEx and UPS were to merge, would they call it FedUP? ?
• Do Lipton Tea employees take 'coffee breaks?' 
• What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of  bald men?
• I  thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks?
• Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the Post Office?What are we supposed to do, write to them?
• Why don't they just put their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen can look for them while they deliver the mail?
• Is it true that you never really learn to swear until you learn to drive?
• If a cow laughed, would milk come out of her nose?
• Whatever happened to Preparations A through G?
• As income tax time approaches, did you ever notice: When you put the two words 'The ' and 'IRS' together, it spells - 'THEIRS'?
